I put up a seperate post about undo. I have a copy routine (not really an undo) but it will allow you to set a time, or click a button to make a generational copy of what you are doing. Currently the routine copies to files with YYYYMMDDHHMMSS prefixed to the file name. It also has the ability to move the working files to a safe folder. I use it for creating copies of code in backend frontend projects. So that I can go back to a previous version.

It works fine with music files. such as BIAB. Might end up being of some use until there is a fix in the program. As noted in my post, I am looking for a few people to kick it around a bit and see if it might be workable until something better comes around.

I have a routine that I use to make generational copies of working projects. I am looking for a couple of people who might check it out and see if it works for them, or what needs to be added to make it workable.

At present it copies two files to new files prefixed with Date and time. It will also copy files to a specific folder (sort of a safe folder) and it will allow you to restore a Date time prefixed file to the working file.

It will also allow you to define several working projects.

In short, you can set up a number of working projects. For example, Song1, Song2, Song3, etc.

In each project you can define two files to be copied. For Example :

G:\BandInABox\PT\CloseYourEyes\Close your Eyes (Good Night Aden) Am V2 Piano Solo on Solo.MGU
G:\BandInABox\PT\CloseYourEyes\Close your Eyes (Good Night Aden) AM No Extra_RealDrums.WAV

And a Safe folder:

G:\BandInABox\Other\TootsTest\

You can set a timer to save every so many minutes or you can save by clicking on a button

files get names like
0905240601Close your Eyes (Good Night Aden) Am V2 Piano Solo on Solo.MGU
0905240601Close your Eyes (Good Night Aden) Am V2 Piano Solo on Solo.Wav

You can then pick the file from a restore list to copie it back to
Close your Eyes (Good Night Aden) Am V2 Piano Solo on Solo.MGU

This allows you to have multiplie copies of a BIAB and perhaps an associated Wave file, and to easily put them back inplace.

I am thinking of making it avaiable to the forum as many people seem to have a need, but would like to have a few people kick it around a bit first.

Any takers (I will say in advance, I am only look for a few people to test, so do not feel slighted if I do not choose you, even if you offer. I certainly do not intended slight anyone, but would like to have it field tested to see if it might be useful as is, or could easily be made useful).

Thanks
